Shout it from the rooftops ~ We've got some awesome feast days coming up next week! ALL SAINTS (Nov 1) & ALL SOULS (Nov 2)!
This weekend we are celebrating the feast day of ALL SAINTS! On this beautiful holy day, we pray with all those passed before us who are in heaven! If we think about it, we are praying in a special way with our grandparents, our spouses, our friends, perhaps our parents - everyone who awaits us and is praying for us here on earth. This weekend's celebration is so very heartfelt and emotional. Let's pray together for each other, for our loved ones, and for peace on our own journey to the Kingdom. (ps. Since All Saints falls on a Monday, the feast day is celebrated on the weekend before.)
We're also celebrating ALL SOULS day with a candlelight mass at 7pm on Tues, Nov 2. On this feast day, we pray for all who have passed before us and are still awaiting entry into the Kingdom. Through the Word, the Eucharist, song and prayer, we pray together for them, and for us - for our peace, release from our sadness, joy for our reunion one day. For those who would like to stay and enjoy some peaceful fellowship with family and friends, there will be a light reception in the narthex. It will be a beautiful evening, and all family, friends & loved ones are invited.
And to round out your week... although it's not an official catholic 'feast day', the awesome Paulites invite you to FEAST with them on Weds, Nov 3, with a ham dinner, all the trimmings, famous Lillian dessert and entertainment. Please see the flyer below.
Have a beautiful week and please let the parish office know if there is anything we can do for you. God bless~
